John Smedley - AW2009

The company John Smedley has been around some 220 years, and has since that time done one thing, and one thing only: classic knitwear. Their point of view seem to be that quality lasts, and that there ought to be people interested in wearing other colours than beige, brown and black during the dark half of the year. They might be right.

As winter draws closer, you should take the opportunity to wear pullovers with your suit or suit trousers. Obviously it’ll add another layer to keep you warm, but moreover it’ll give you another variable in your daily outfit. John Smedley won’t disappoint you when it comes to their colour range, and neither will their quality.

Their winter collection is usually made up from New Zealand extra fine merino wool. It’s got great lustre, brilliant colour and the company claims it to be machine washable in a standard 40ÂșC program. The summer collection is made out of Sea Island cotton, which is the finest cotton fibre (barely) available in the world.

They’ve got v-necks, rounded necks, polos and much more. Don’t miss out! You won’t regret owning one.
